Amazon Basics kettle2 1.7 L electric kettle, 1500 W, black and silver

1.7 L electric kettle for everyday hot drinks

The Amazon Basics kettle2 holds 1.7 litres of water and uses a 1500 W element to bring it to a boil quickly. Its glass carafe is made from BPA‑free materials and includes a wide opening for easy filling and cleaning. A water level indicator lets you measure the exact amount you need. The kettle suits anyone who wants a simple, reliable way to prepare tea, coffee or instant meals.

Strix thermostat with auto shut‑off and boil‑dry

A Strix thermostat controls the heating cycle and cuts power automatically once the water reaches boiling point. Boil‑dry protection activates if the kettle is switched on without enough water, preventing damage to the element. These safety features operate without any user intervention. The blue LED illuminates while the kettle is heating, giving a clear visual cue that the cycle is active.

Replaces a stove‑top kettle or basic electric model

Moving from a stove‑top kettle removes the need to watch an open flame and reduces the risk of boiling dry. Upgrading from a basic electric kettle without automatic shut‑off adds the same protection plus precise temperature management from the Strix controller. The jump is worth it if you want faster boiling, built‑in safety and a glass carafe that shows the water level at a glance.
